Lunenburg Industrial Foundry & Engineering Ltd.

Lunenburg Foundry & Engineering Limited (LIFE) has been providing
a wide variety of high quality products and services since its
establishment in 1891. From its location on two waterfront sites
on Lunenburg harbour, LIFE has serviced both local needs and
world wide markets.

LIFE's craftsmen have offered a long heritage of excellent
service to the fishing industry and continue to serve this market
with both conventional and innovative new products. The company
was an early pioneer in the development of a marine internal
combustion engine and continues to manufacture many products for
the marine industry. In 1921, LIFE was the first in Canada to
install a diesel engine in a fishing schooner. The company is
heavily involved in ship repair such as refits, conversions and
outfitting. Our full service Ship Repair Facility at Plant 2 has
three marine railways with a maximum capacity of 1600 tons, a
mobile boat hoist, and a machine shop. At the head of the
Lunenburg Harbour, the Main Plant, there are two protected wharf
areas with 350' and 150' frontages and 27' drafts at high tide.

Today LIFE designs and manufactures a full line of equipment and
offers a wide range of services to the marine industry, including
distribution of products by well-known manufacturers such as
Ford, B.F.Goodrich and Bird Johnson and respected by Atlantic
Canadian Fishermen and boat owners.

LIFE's Marine Products are engineered and built to withstand the
rigours of the North Atlantic. LIFE's wide line of products can
be integrated into packages that are manufactured and may be
installed at the plant.

Our Foundry castings meet Lloyd's and CSI quality standards.
Raw materials for our non-ferrous foundry meet ASTM quality
standards.

Custom work is a specialty at LIFE; engineers are available at
the plant to service your specific needs.

Propellers

Propulsion Equipment
Marine Propulsion Equipment Your propulsion equipment represents the single most important system in your boat. It is therefore very important that the right system be chosen and installed. Choosing the right system requires looking at many different variables including the boat's hull type, displacement, waterline length, maximum hull speed, intended use, etc. By using scientific formulas and charts the correct engine, transmission, shaft and propeller can be specified and matched as a unit. Please keep in mind that Lunenburg Foundry and Engineering Limited can supply all of your propulsion requirements with the highest quality components at the best price, and is available to assist you in making the right selection.
